The wild phantoms and shrieldng cries of a worthless humbug can make money by imposing upon the credulity and ignorance of an honest public and the supply of this species of work seems more than an adequate demand. The cmInciation of facts-iaets that have stood crucial te,ts--facts proven by brain force and tangible evidence should satisfy all laudible enterprises; but the eN ecr,ble practce of teaching false ideas and ooctrines for <clf-aggrnndizemt mt is truly reprehcnsble and should be Scorncd by all classes.
 When one house tells you that Iodine of Potash is poison simply because their op- ponents use it, and because they are pandcr- ing to your ignorance, as they suppose, you should look upon all such a- arrant frauds anAlati,s.ir remedies as unworthy public con tidcncc. and if those who make such asser- ton. do not know better, the are set of ul1- enyiable ignoranruscs.

Why Arkansas is the Best State.

Why Arkansas is the Best State.
 From long article in the Little Rock Gazette, under the above heading, we clip the following eX- tract:
 Another great iuducement for immigration to Arkausas Is her climate. In this climate there are no long, cold and gloomy winters and yet is far enough north to avoid the long hot summers of lower attitudes, and for an allthe- year.round climate it is not ex- celled anywhere in the Union, and is only equaled by the climate oi Tennessee and other places in the same latitude having the protec- ton of timber and mountains. There are few people in the north what would not gladly shun the i dscOmfOrtS and danger of the ter rible winters. where they are eX- posed tC all sorts Ot throat and lung diseases, and where the loss of time and the expense of feeding i live stock, and of clothing. fuel, etc. are so much greater. These things will be considered by all iu- telligcnt people who think of einl- grating to the west. and Arkansas is the only state where cheap lands arc found together with Il mild cl- mate. There are cheap lauds yet iu Dakota and Texas. but one is too far south and the other too far north, while this enjoys q mo. dium and equable climate, iavora. ble to health and out door pursnits $ at all times of the year. and espec. tally favorable to fruit culture. Sit uated so near to the great cities [ and populations of the north. with a climate aud soil peculiarly adapt. ed to the culture of fruits and i vineyards, and with an earlier spring by several weeks than ill the latitudes Of Missouri. Illinois or Ohio thus giving the advantage of the earliest market for fruits and garden products ArkanSas would be a great state If she had no other resources but her fruits, vineyards and gardens.
 If she did not have these re- sources and had nothing but ner minerals and timber, she would still be a great state, as her central location, navigable rivers and ta- vorable climate would build up large manufacturing cities within her borders ont of the mineral and timber resources alone. And il the fruits, vineyards, gardehS, minerals and timber were all elm mated and nothing left her to her but her cotton lands, she would still be leading state. as she Is al' ready one of the greatest cotton producing states. ranking both high in quantity and quality. IL has been estimated that if all her good cotton lands wefe brought under cultivation she would annu- ally produce as much cotton as the yearly productions of all the other states combineds that is. as much as ten others states combined have produced in any year up to thi> date. Again supposing that hei cotton industry has gone on with all the other resources above men toned, and that she had no othel resources than the growing Ol corn, wheat, oats and other small grain she has land enough that IS adapt cd to the production of these grains. and of tobacco, hay, pota- toes, etc. which, if all in 2ulilra ton. would make her great agil cultural state, and besides these from her grazing lands alone. Sh' could produce annually millions "' dollars worth of live stock.

slightest Sign OF yielding in the center,

coptance Of the offer. lie then tclegrsphed

that he was ready 10 deliver tho cattle n
the price offered by their agent, and 70
ceived reply saying that they had mnl

and the other bearing upon his grand

statement Of Mr.. O'Brien is untrue, that
will by so much effect the strength OF his
case. The alleged cruelty OF Lanadowne's
grandfather never had much pertinency
to the Issue. But when Lansdowne takes
the high ground that he will not discuss
the question, his flight is altogether too
high to NEE. public sentiment. The
world would listen to Lord Lansdowne as
it does to Mr.. O'Brien, but silence. or a
general denial, ia not convincing. Lord
